The developers on those games care more about producing realistic sweat and developing as many leaping catching animations as possible than, say, calculating realistic pitch count and walk numbers. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, that's probably a smart business decision on their part, as that will attract more people than anything else. But as someone who loves realism and statistics, it will always be OOTP for me.

Adjust the sliders. I'm getting very realistic pitch counts (last night I had 75 through 5 innings w/ Felix Hernandez, including 6 ks and 2 BBs - at the same time, the the CPU had 63 through 5 innings while walking me 3 times).
But on the whole, I agree with you. If I'm looking for good statistics produced over several years, I'll play OOTP every time. However, 2k7 really does play a great game of baseball. The atmosphere is perfect. The franchise bugs don't bother me as I can't stand to play franchise on a console after discovering OOTP, so the fact that it plays such a good game of baseball was enough to get me to buy it.
